Despite the excellent sales Maserati is taking it a step back. The car manufacturer wanted to build 35.000 cars this year but they now expect to build 30.000 copies. This is want AutoNews announces after an interview with Maserati.
Simply said, the shifts in the Fiat Chrysler Automobiles Grugliasco factory are taken from 12 to 10 shifts. In this factory the Maserati Ghibli and Quattroporte are being produced. 2.800 employees will build 30.000 Maseratis this year. Great performance for a manufacturer that wants to keep on growing. Last year Maserati sold 36.448 cars which is an increase of 137% compared with 2013. Up to 23.500 Ghiblis were produced. The GranTurismo and GranCabrio only have a small share of 3.500 copies. For Maserati the market in the United States is very important because they sold up to 12.943 copies. in 2018 Maserati wants to have their production increased to 75.000 copies a year. To reach that they will introduce the Levante next year. They will also update their current models to make sure that they will reach their goal.
